چکیده
The Garden Clinic, Slough Slough, along the M4 corridor, west of London, UK, is a very diverse area. It has high pockets of deprivation and a large mix of ethnic diversity including many Africans, Caribbeans, Asians and an increasing Eastern European population. This creates many complexities, in particular language and cultural issues. The Garden Clinic offers a holistic approach to sexual health, encompassing genitourinary medicine (GUM), family planning (FP) and a separate consultant-led HIV service. The service works well, offering patients a choice of appointments, from walk-in clinics every day, to booked appointments. There is a speakeasy (young persons) clinic aimed at under16s. The garden clinic has satellite clinics in Bracknell and Maidenhead. Specialist clinics are also run every month, such as a genital dermatology clinic run in conjunction with the dermatology department and a psychosexual clinic for men with erectile dysfunction problems. The service also provides a counsellor who covers a range of topics such as gender issues and problems with sexual relationships.
